Quick Bio:
Likes:
Eating, ATTENTION, little dogs, romping/rolling in the snow, baths (yes, really!), playing "keep-away" and "chase me!", stealing underwear, destroying his toys, and, of course his doggie girlfriends!
Pet-Peeves:
Being left out of ANY activity (no matter how big or small!). LOUD NOISES! He also turns into JoJo-The-Idiot-Circus-Boy whenever we move furniture.
Favorite Toy:
Anything with which another dog is playing at the given moment, or any object which he is not supposed to have (he has a particular affection for underwear). Oh, and hair scrunchi's (while they're still in my hair!)
Favorite Food:
EVERYTHING! We're convinced there is absolutely NOTHING this dog won't eat, though he goes particularly BONGO for CHEESE, cat food (!), popcorn and red licorice.
Favorite Walk:
Anywhere he can meet-and-greet people and other dogs (hence the nickname "Senator Zeus")!
Best Tricks:
Zeus' best trick is that HE has somehow managed to train US to wait on him, hand and foot (or would that be "paw" and "paw"?)
Arrival Story:
I had originally visited Pets-In-Need (in Dracut, MA) to meet a greyhound/basenji mix, but the chemistry just wasn't there. The boss-lady and I got to talking, and she mentioned the "big, clumsy-but-goodnatured galoof" in the back room. She brought him out and he immediately jumped me and knocked me straight to the floor, at which time he procceded to stand directly over me and cover my face in (slobbery) kisses! It was love at first drool! One week later, he was ours (or were we his?!) Zeus has turned our lives - and our house! - upside down, and we can't imagine life without him! (Note: the greyhound/basenji was adopted to a great home 2 weeks later!)
Bio:
Someone had originally given Zeus to an elderly woman as a GIFT. The story is, unfortunately, not an uncommon one: Zeus grew "too big, too quickly," and she was physically unable to handle his strenth coupled with his unbridled puppy energy. Hence, inasmuch as she obviously loved him (she surrendered all his belongings, including a $300 crate!), she was "forced" to surrender him to rescue (and apparently adopted a cat instead - a much more logical choice for a senior citizen in my unsolicited opinion). My point, here, is that an animal should NEVER be given as a "gift" unless the plan has priorly been discussed, agreed-upon, carefully thought out, and, most importantly (!), the recipient is willing and able to provide the animal with a proper and loving home.
